The Mojang boss initially said on Twitter that Facebook "creeps [him] out", but has now gone into specifics about why he does not want to work with the social network.

"Facebook is not a company of grass-roots tech enthusiasts. Facebook is not a game tech company. Facebook has a history of caring about building user numbers, and nothing but building user numbers," he wrote on his blog.

"People have made games for Facebook platforms before, and while it worked great for a while, they were stuck in a very unfortunate position when Facebook eventually changed the platform to better fit the social experience they were trying to build.

Facebook announced on Tuesday (March 25) that it is buying Oculus VR in a deal worth $2 billion, with plans in place to apply its technology to areas beyond gaming, such as communications, media and entertainment, and education.

The deal includes $400 million in cash and 23.1 million shares of Facebook common stock, and will close in the second quarter of 2014.
